Agents of Liberation
The book explores representations of the Holocaust in contemporary art practices. Through carefully selected art projects, the author illuminates the specific historical, cultural, and political circumstances that influence the way we speak?or do not speak?about the Holocaust. The book?s international focus brings into view film projects made by key artists reflecting critically upon forms of Holocaust memory in a variety of geographical contexts. K‚kesi connects the ethical implications of the memory of the Holocaust with a critical analysis of contemporary societies, focusing upon artists who are deeply engaged in doing both of the above within three regions: Eastern Europe (especially Poland), Germany, and Israel. The case studies apply current methods of contemporary art theory, unfolding their implications in terms of memory politics and social critique.

Memory in Hungarian Fascism
Memory in Hungarian Fascism: A Cultural History argues that fascist memory had a key role in the historical formation and later return of fascism. Tracing the trajectory of a perennial figure of fascist memory, the cult of Eszter Sólymosi, from interwar Hungary through the Cold War West to contemporary Hungary, the book covers a century of fascism and offers a unique combination of fascism studies and memory studies. How did fascists challenge liberal memory after the First World War? How did the memory culture they created come to frame and feed the Second World War and the genocide? In what ways did fascist memory transform as they navigated the challenges of exile in a profoundly changed...
War in Film
The human experience of war is not only remembered by societies through memorials, but also through the depiction of wars and important battles of respective national histories on screen. Very often, the image presented is related to existent semiotics, and the respective sign systems determine the image of heroic actions and violence on the screen. The present volume provides a deeper insight into the forces at play when war films are presented on the big screen and intends to show why and how violent conflicts often have an afterlife as visual media as well.
Persistent Legacy
New essays by prominent scholars in German and Holocaust Studies exploring the boundaries and confluences between the fields and examining new transnational approaches to the Holocaust.
Art as Demonstration
How artists wield demonstration to question the status quo both aesthetically and politically, marshaling art and education as powerful agents of change. Demonstration, in short, says: See here. It is the practice of pointing to something in order to explain or contest it. As such, Sven Spieker argues that demonstration has helped reshape art from the height of the Cold War to the late twentieth century, reformatting our understanding of how art and political engagement relate to each other. Focusing on Western Europe (especially Germany), Eastern Europe, and the United States, Art as Demonstration expands on contemporary discussions of art-as-protest, activism, and resistance. Spieker shows...

From the Habsburgs to Central Europe
The Centers for Austrian Studies, founded by the Austrian Ministry of Science and Research since the 1970s play an important role for the Austrian Scientific Community. Their tasks are to promote Austrian and Central European Studies in their host nations and to give Austrian students the possibility to conduct research aboard and to get in touch with local colleagues. This anthology contains a description of the Institution's history and current status as well as the working papers of their present PhD students. Their research covers a period from the 17th to the middle of the 20th century.
Geschichte der ungarischen Literatur
Die Geschichte der ungarischen Literatur stellt Epochen, Tendenzen und Werke der ungarischen Literatur von den Anfängen bis zum 21. Jahrhundert vor. Diese gut 800-jährige Geschichte, geprägt durch sprachliche Alleinstellung, vereint historische und kulturell-ideengeschichtliche Strömungen regionaler wie europäischer Art. Die Darstellung verfolgt einen wirkungsgeschichtlich „gesteuerten“ Vorgang historisch-poetologischer Veränderungen in der literarischen Schreibweise und Kommunikation. Untersucht wird einerseits der Wandel der literarischen Sprachverwendung, andererseits die Formen historischer Kulturtechniken, die der Literatur die jeweiligen Bedingungen von Vermittlung zwischen Produktion und Rezeption zur Verfügung stellen. Ein besonderes Augenmerk gilt hierbei der Moderne, in welcher der ungarischen Literatur ein höchst produktiver und singulärer Umgang mit europäischen Themen und Horizonten sowie eine tiefgreifende Auseinandersetzung mit ihrer eigenen Vorgeschichte gelang.
